Elfcutter Warband

Orcish legends tell of the horrors of the Ascended War, where armies far beyond the power of even Lost Si’yla warred. The magics unleashed by their mages warped the face of the world and set off storms that lasted centuries and sought congregations of the living to destroy. In those days, the life of an orc was even more brutal, even shorter. Everywhere the tribe looked, they were turned away. When they tried to shelter in the caverns of the Underearth, tribal tales tell of elves in the dark, blades bright and blood red against the darkness of the cavern, shouting muffled by the sound of the storms the orcs were chased out into.
But the tribe did not die in the caves, nor to the storms. They fought with the Warlord and distinguished themselves, eventually claiming a piece of territory for themselves to grow. The tribe never forgot their ancestors, and never forgot what had been done to them.

Structure

As a traditional warband, the Elfcutters follow Warleader Serayn Elfcutter. Serayn keeps two Bloodlords, close kin and advisers, who each command two Fanglords. Promotion in a warband is a bloody affair. Most come on the battlefield when a promising subordinate is promoted to fill the role of a fallen superior, or in a Blood Duel, a structured affair where members of the warband can challenge their superiors to a fight to the death for their position.

Public Agenda

The Elfcutter Warband seeks to right the wrongs done to their people during the Ascendancy War and reclaim what was lost to them when they were turned out into the Arcastorms to die.
